Legal watchdogs

There are many instances where a Parsi Zoroastrian has been the first and only person to raise an objection to a proposed amendment or law. It is remarkable that a member of the smallest community raises an objection and gets the law changed.

Rashid Irani of London raised an objection when the National Art Gallery started levying entrance fees. They immediately reacted and the entrance fees were discontinued. One Parsi objected to toll tax and got it removed. Another objected to demolition of hutments till proper alternate accommodation was provided.

A list should be compiled of all such Parsis who have objected to what they perceive as injustice.
